If /sbin/bridge-stp is available on the system, bridge tries to execute
it instead of the kernel implementation when starting/stopping STP.
If anything goes wrong with /sbin/bridge-stp, bridge silently falls back
to kernel STP, making hard to debug userspace STP.
This patch adds a br_stp_call_user helper to start/stop userspace STP
and debug errors from the program: abnormal exit status is stored in the
lower byte and normal exit status is stored in higher byte.
Below is a simple example on a kernel with dynamic debug enabled:
# ln -s /bin/false /sbin/bridge-stp
# brctl stp br0 on
br0: failed to start userspace STP (256)
# dmesg
br0: /sbin/bridge-stp exited with code 1
br0: failed to start userspace STP (256)
br0: using kernel STP

The bridge's ageing time is offloaded to hardware when:
1) A port joins a bridge
2) The ageing time of the bridge is changed
In the first case the ageing time is offloaded as jiffies, but in the
second case it's offloaded as clock_t, which is what existing switchdev
drivers expect to receive.

switchdev drivers need to know the netdev on which the switchdev op was
invoked. For example, the STP state of a VLAN interface configured on top
of a port can change while being member in a bridge. In this case, the
underlying driver should only change the STP state of that particular
VLAN and not of all the VLANs configured on the port.
However, current switchdev infrastructure only passes the port netdev down
to the driver. Solve that by passing the original device down to the
driver as part of the required switchdev object / attribute.
This doesn't entail any change in current switchdev drivers. It simply
enables those supporting stacked devices to know the originating device
and act accordingly.

These should be handled only by the respective STP which is in control.
They become problematic for devices with limited resources with many
ports because the hold_timer is per port and fires each second and the
hello timer fires each 2 seconds even though it's global. While in
user-space STP mode these timers are completely unnecessary so it's better
to keep them off.
Also ensure that when the bridge is up these timers are started only when
running with kernel STP.

After the ->set() spinlocks were removed br_stp_set_bridge_priority
was left running without any protection when used via sysfs. It can
race with port add/del and could result in use-after-free cases and
corrupted lists. Tested by running port add/del in a loop with stp
enabled while setting priority in a loop, crashes are easily
reproducible.
The spinlocks around sysfs ->set() were removed in commit:
14f98f258f ("bridge: range check STP parameters")

fixed by this change, but it was introduced recently and the fixes tag

Vlan code may need fdb change when changing mac address of bridge device
even if it is caused by the mac address changing of a bridge port.
Example configuration:
ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
ip link set eth1 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 eth1 # br0 will have mac address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 10 self
bridge vlan add dev eth0 vid 10
We will have fdb entry such that f->dst == NULL, f->vlan_id == 10 and
f->addr == 12:34:56:78:90:ab at this time.
Next, change the mac address of eth0 to greater value.
ip link set eth0 address ee:ff:12:34:56:78
Then, mac address of br0 will be recalculated and set to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff.
However, an entry aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff will not be created and we will be not
able to communicate using br0 on vlan 10.
Address this issue by deleting and adding local entries whenever
changing the mac address of the bridge device.
If there already exists an entry that has the same address, for example,
in case that br_fdb_changeaddr() has already inserted it,
br_fdb_change_mac_address() will simply fail to insert it and no
duplicated entry will be made, as it was.
This approach also needs br_add_if() to call br_fdb_insert() before
br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id() so that we don't create an entry whose
dst == NULL in this function to preserve previous behavior.
Note that this is a slight change in behavior where the bridge device can
receive the traffic to the new address before calling
br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id() in br_add_if().
However, it is not a problem because we have already the address on the
new port and such a way to insert new one before recalculating bridge id
is taken in br_device_event() as well.

bridge: Clamp forward_delay when enabling STP
had a typo when attempting to clamp maximum forward delay.
It is possible to set bridge_forward_delay to be higher then
permitted maximum when STP is off. When turning STP on, the
higher then allowed delay has to be clamed down to max value.

At some point limits were added to forward_delay. However, the
limits are only enforced when STP is enabled. This created a
scenario where you could have a value outside the allowed range
while STP is disabled, which then stuck around even after STP
is enabled.
This patch fixes this by clamping the value when we enable STP.
I had to move the locking around a bit to ensure that there is
no window where someone could insert a value outside the range
while we're in the middle of enabling STP.

Apply restrictions on STP parameters based 802.1D 1998 standard.
* Fixes missing locking in set path cost ioctl
* Uses common code for both ioctl and sysfs
This is based on an earlier patch Sasikanth V but with overhaul.
Note:
1. It does NOT enforce the restriction on the relationship max_age and
forward delay or hello time because in existing implementation these are
set as independant operations.
2. If STP is disabled, there is no restriction on forward delay
3. No restriction on holding time because users use Linux code to act
as hub or be sticky.
4. Although standard allow 0-255, Linux only allows 0-63 for port priority
because more bits are reserved for port number.
